Hey kids,
Remember when I told you to check your spam for my reply and you didn’t. Then you realized I had been replying all along? Please do that now. Also I had an email problem for like ten days that I would have too many emails (10k) and not clogged disk space as I believed so just so you know I may never have seen your email in the beginning of July.
This problem was of course complicated by hugely unnecessary threads of “are you sure that you’re sure that you’re sure?” being said daily to me since checking up on me hourly, while entire forbidden in the terms of service of my site, are just the norm for some people, so if you do things like send me 10 emails before my reply because you’re just checking to see if the fact that I have been in business for about twenty years means I’ll disappear on only you, then know that I won’t unless you unintentionally made my inbox hold over 10k emails which then made everyone’s inquiry including yours vaporize and never get delivered.
Them there are late payments because some of you are new and therefore don’t trust me to have me hold it for even an hour while others are just chronically late paying, and yet others outright lie and pay days later than promised leaving me to look like a complete jerk when I can’t pay anyone on time as I can’t pay things with your promises to pay me and normally we have savings enough to cover everyone’s lies and delays with our money but….
We are literally in the middle of the most expensive and strenuous move I have ever in my life experienced. I moved a whole house in less time for less cost. Add to this that my guy has an old chronic health issue flaring and can’t work very much if at all. Add the expense of the illegal overpayments of our last residence. That neither of us own a car and are stranded outside the city right now. Ubers aren’t cheap. Then take into account that my expenses in the last 18 months have quadrupled. Oh and future Mr NinjaCat didn’t pack my laptop cord so typing you out even this rant is 100 times harder because it’s on an iPhone screen.
And be clear here, I’m going to need thousands for our new place because real estate is killing my city (not helping it) by being so expensive that low paying jobs can’t be filled since no one can afford to live near the job on pay so low. Me and future Mr NinjaCat have been foiled by not having $3 more than we have in this or that account this week because we can’t afford an Uber or take out or whatever it is we need… but if we lived where we want (and very little is available,) the cost of settling in means he might have to sell a kidney because I don’t know how else we are going to pay the rents which have tripled in the last 5 years.
so on that note please do your old friend Cat a favor. Pay your invoice, don’t send 200 emails to check up on me every week, and try to keep in mind that I am scheduling as best I can and working like a slave from dawn until mid morning on spells just to keep us afloat while we wait to get into a new place which is horribly overpriced because that’s the current market, and while I love my job, it’s a stressful spot to be in right now, so I’d appreciate it if everyone could cut me just a bit of slack if I can’t schedule you in today or by not emailing me 200 times before I can respond.
thanks!
~Cat
